Head Badge Decal Options?

Are there any companies who make non-brand head badges or decals that won't fall off? I know you can buy brand head badges (Schwinn, etc) all day long but does anyone make head badges that aren't brand specific? If no one does they should.

Bikes: I have cut my stable down to one bike in hopes to make room for a roadie.

You could always make your own out of some "water slide" decal or try some manner of embossing/debossing really thin Al...like a beer can (PBR Headbadge?). I'm sure the latter method could be down with a metal burnisher and an object that you would want as a headbadge. In fact I might just try this.

Hmmmm..
